Definitions
- inventions relate generally to the field of light-emitting devices. More specifically, embodiments described herein include a light-emitting device that integrates or incorporates voltage switchable dielectric material.
- LEDs and OLEDs can fail when exposed to transient electrical conditions.
- organic and inorganic light emitting devices including the semiconductor chips and polymers used in these devices, are highly susceptible to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and other voltage transients such as electrical over-stress (EOS) and electromagnetic pulses (EMP).
- ESD Electrostatic Discharge
- EOS electrical over-stress
- EMP electromagnetic pulses
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a light-emitting device, configured to incorporate or integrate VSD material, according to embodiments of the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a simplified schematic of a light-emitting diode, configured to include VSD material, under an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an LED device configured to include VSD material, according to one or more embodiments of the invention.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an LED device that is mounted to an underlying substrate or platform, with the incorporation of VSD material, according to an embodiment of the invention.
- FIG. 5 illustrates another embodiment in which one or more LED devices are mounted to a substrate or other multi-element platform, in which VSD material is included, under an embodiment of the invention.

- Embodiments described herein provide for the use of a voltage switchable dielectric material (VSD) material as part of a light-emitting component, including LEDs and OLEDs.
- VSD material may be provided as part of the packaging, or integrated or combined with electrical components and elements of such light-emitting device.
- the integration of VSD material protects the light-emitting device from voltage transients such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) and electrical overstress (EOS), as well as moisture, impact and other electrical or mechanical threats.
- ESD electrostatic discharge
- EOS electrical overstress
- Embodiments also include an apparatus design and technique for safeguarding lighting mechanisms (including LEDs and OLEDs) against ESD events.
- one or more embodiments provide for use of VSD material to shield an LED or OLED against ESD events.
- Examples of light-emitting devices that are applicable to embodiments described herein include LEDs, OLEDs, or even lighting mechanisms that burn filaments.
- VSD material is any composition, or combination of compositions, that has a characteristic of being dielectric or non-conductive, unless a voltage is applied to the material that exceeds a characteristic voltage level of the material, in which case the material becomes conductive.
- VSD material is a dielectric unless voltage exceeding the characteristic level (e.g. such as provided by ESD events) is applied to the material, in which case the VSD material is conductive.
- VSD material can also be characterized as any material that can be characterized as a nonlinear resistance material.
